“Battlestar Galactica” #1, written by Greg Pak with art by Nigel Raynor, hit comic book stores yesterday. Click here for a preview of the first four pages at Newsarama.

An excerpt:

Frakholes rejoice because Greg Pak, currently handling the non-Civil War “Planet Hulk” saga for Marvel, has got the BSG atmosphere well in hand. Pak is channeling the TV series into comic form, from President Roslyn’s cat-and-mouse relationship game with Adama, to the nuances of the bridge crew, everything feels familiar. The story could have been pulled straight from an unaired episode.

“Battlestar Galactica” #1 hits stores later this month.

Tony Whitt, writing for NowPlayingMag.com, has kind things to say about “Battlestar Galactica” #0. Here’s a taste:

… Pak’s script truly soars, turning into the beginnings of an unseen episode we wish they’d hurry up and film already. … the best payoff to this approach is that final page, which even a new reader can have a shock of surprise over, since Pak has set it up so well within this issue. It’s an amazing moment, and one which should get this series started with a bang.

An excerpt (WARNING: SMALL SPOLIERS!):

Pak captures the relationship between Commander William Adama and President Laura Roslin. He shows the conflict between Starbuck and William Adama as the former seeks forgiveness from the latter. What’s brilliant is how he is able to capture the silence that Wm. Adama uses to communicate. He further develops Wm. Adama’s question, “Why does humanity deserve to survive?” Plus, he creates a story hook that made me want issue one even more.

BrokenFrontier.com loves “Battlestar Galactica” #0, written by Greg Pak with art by Nigel Raynor. An excerpt from Jason Berek-Lewis’s rave review:

Greg Pak’s script sizzles with raw emotion. … Each character speaks and acts in 100% accordance with what we have seen on the screen, giving Pak’s writing an unmistakable authenticity. Where the script absolutely excels is in giving each character their own unique voice, so much so that I actually “heard” the actors’ voices reading the dialogue.
